Vegetable Strudel With Puff Pastry Recipes

VEGETABLE STRUDEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400F.
• PREPARE AND SAUTE VEGETABLES/FRUIT: Dice onions, sweet potatoes and peppers finely (1/4-1/2 inch). Shortcuts: Chop vegetables in food processor in 2-3 batches. For easier peeling and dicing sweet potato, microwave it first (pierced with knife) for 4 minutes, peel and dice. If you do this, saute other veggies first, then add sweet potato as it will take less time. Heat oil in large skillet to medium high. Add onions, peppers and sweet potatoes. Saute for for 6-9 minutes until sweet potatoes are almost soft. Add apples, garlic and seasonings. Saute another 2-3 minutes until potatoes are soft (not mushy). Mix in spinach until wilted, one minute. Turn off heat. Mix in crumbled goat cheese. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
• MAKE STRUDEL: Unfold puff pastry sheet onto flat lightly floured surface. (If puff pastry is not pre-rolled, roll it on floured surface to approximately 12 x 10 inch rectangle.) Spoon vegetable mixture into center, leaving enough room to fold dough over like an envelope. Wrap vegetable mixture by overlapping dough from sides and ends. Pinch dough together to secure.
• BAKE: Place strudel seam side down on pan lined with parchment paper. Use pastry brush to brush egg wash on top and sides. Make 8 evenly spaced small horizontal slits to allow steam to escape. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
• SERVE: Slice strudel into 8-9 pieces and serve as a side dish or as a main dish with soup or salad. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

VEGETABLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• Make sure to dry the vegetables and mushrooms well.
• Mix all the ingredients except the puff pastry.
• Roll the puff pastry to the size of a large cookie sheet.
• Put filling in the center of pastry lengthwise, be sure to leave about 4 inches from the sides of pastry.
• Roll up jelly roll fashion making sure to fold the short sides to seal the roll, pinch all the seams together to seal.
• Brush the roll with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
• Make slices through the top only of roll about every 2 inches, this is so when you cut the slices the pastry doesn't crumble and it makes a nicer presentation.
• Bake in a preheated 350 °F for about 35 minutes until browned.
• Slice all the way through where you made the slits earlier.
• NOTE: You can use any combination for the filling like broccoli and chicken, or all meat.
